Today is Y/N's first day working at the gift shop in Starr Park. Your rent was nearly due, so you have no other choice. You were so glad that the gift shop was short-staffed! Otherwise, Griff would've just thrown your resume at your face and kicked you out.

You weren't particularly excited in working here.. but you were excited in meeting Edgar, your long-term crush. You met Edgar in Middle School, and thought he was the cutest boy you've ever met. Unfortunately, you both went to different high schools and couldn't see each other any longer.. but now you have the chance to meet him again! A lot of people think he's rude and too emo for their taste, but they just don't get him like you do. You loved the way he dresses.

Griff has tasked you with handling the plushie section. That can't be so hard, right?

Well, you were wrong.

In the storage room, boxes and boxes of plushies towered over you. It was a menacing sight. You felt like you were in the city, but everything is made out of cardboard boxes. You sighed wearily as you started taking out the first boxes in line, but there wasn't much progress.

'Dang, these boxes are heavier than I thought.'

You could feel a cold sweat forming on your face as you tried pushing the boxes out, but it was no use. Suddenly, you felt a hand on your shoulder, startling you.

"Uhm, Y/N, is it? Do you need some help?"

Y/N turned around and was greeted by the presence of your crush! You felt your heart skip a beat as your face heated up a little. It's really him! He was still all dark and emo, but he was still so good-looking.

"Oh, uh, yeah! Could you help me move these boxes? They're a bit heavy, hahaha..." Y/N chuckled nervously as she pointed at the pile of boxes.

Edgar nodded gently as he started, moving his arms in the air. You were confused for a moment before noticing that his scarf was moving along with his movements.

His scarf is... alive?!

"H-how?" Y/N stared at Edgar with confusion. What kind of sorcery is this?!

Edgar chuckled softly as he signalled for you to follow him to the plushie section of the gift shop. You watched in amazement as he took out each plushie one by one with his scarf, whom he was guiding throughout the whole process.

"How is this possible, Edgar?"

Edgar could've sworn he saw sparkles in your eyes. You were really that impressed.

"Heh, well, I got this scarf from the black market... and boom, it's a magic scarf," said Edgar as he starts tugging on his scarf with a blush creeping up to his face.

Y/N stared at Edgar with confusion. "Isn't that place dangerous?"

"Yeah, well, if you don't care, it isn't."

You simply stared at him with a blank expression.

"Fair point.. but like.. does it follow you or something?"

Edgar nodded softly as he went to grab another box of plushies.

"Mhm, it moves in any direction I want it to, but sometimes this son of a bitch has a mind of its own." Edgar rolled his eyes back as he said the last statement, remembering all the times his own scarf did him wrong.

"What do you mean by that?" Said Y/N as she scratched her head in confusion.

"Well, whenever I lose in a game or a challenge, this piece of cloth will start continuously smacking me on the head. It's crazy."

Y/N giggled at Edgar's frustration before grabbing out some plushies and placing them on the shelves.

"Maybe it's based on your feelings more. I mean, you feel angry whenever you lose, right? Maybe that influences your scarf's action."

Edgar stared at Y/N with wide eyes. His jaw dropped in shock.

"My god, you're right! Fuck, am I that dumb?"

"Maybe you are." You started chuckling softly before getting smacked lightly by his scarf, which caught you off-guard. Nevertheless, it was still funny to see his reaction.

"Hehehe, you proved my point."

"Ugh, whatever," Edgar rolled his eyes back from your response as he continued on with his work.

A few hours had gone by and it was finally the end of your shift. Coincidentally, so was Edgar's. You both decided to hang out after work and catch up at a local cafe.

As you stood in front of the counter, trying to figure out what kind of drink you should order, you felt a light tug behind you. Once you turned your head back, there was nothing there.

That was odd.

You could've swore someone or something was trying to wrap itself around you! Eventually, you just brushed it off.

A couple of minutes later, you walked back to where you and Edgar were sitting with two cups of coffee in your hand.

"Hey, was there something behind me earlier? Something poked me, but when I looked back, there was nothing. Strange."

"U-uhm, no.. I don't think so."

Y/N stared at Edgar with confusion. Why was he stuttering? He seemed to be a little embarrassed. Did something happen while you were gone? At the end, you didn't think much about it and decided to talk about something else.

Hours had gone by and the sun had gone down to rest. It was time for you two to part ways. The moment you were both outside of the cafe, you turned to look at Edgar and smiled widely.

"Hey Edgar, thanks for bringing me out today! I had a lot of fun catching up with you. I'll see you at work tomorrow, then."

"Mhm, see you tomorrow, Y/N."

As you both said your farewells and headed in the opposite direction, you were suddenly stopped by a strong force. It wrapped around you tightly, but it wasn't painful or anything. It actually felt quite soft.

You looked down and were greeted with a familiar black and white pattern. It was Edgar's scarf!

You turned around and saw Edgar frantically trying to pull his scarf away from you. He was as red as a tomato.

"U-uhm? Edgar?"

Y/N could feel her cheeks warming up as she felt the grip of the scar tightening.

Edgar sighed in embarrassment as he walked up to you, getting a bit too close to you.

"Y/N.. I- I know it's been a while since we've last met, but uhm, and this may seem a little out of the blue, but I actually had a crush on you since middle school."

You could've swore your heart stopped beating for a moment.

"W-wha?"

Edgar looked down as he continued trying to pull his scarf away from you.

"It's fine if you don't like m-"

Before Edgar could finish his sentence, you quickly wrapped your arms around him and pulled him into a firm and tight hug.

"No, no, no.. I like you too!"

Edgar was surprised but was happy nonetheless. You both pulled away from the hug and stared into each other's eyes lovingly. Though his scarf ended up wrapping around you again.

"Heh, you'll have to get used to that." Edgar chuckled nervously as he caressed your cheeks.

Y/N had the brightest smile in the world at that moment. You now have a loving boyfriend.. and a clingy scarf.
